At lunch on 12th August 2019 the members of Gravesend Rotary inducted Meopham Valley Vineyard Ltd as a Corporate Member of the Club. Membership Leader Tony Muckley reintroduced Mr. Ben Bassi, Director of Meopham Valley Vineyard Ltd, to the assembled Club members and recalled that Ben had already attended lunch and supported the Club’s activities on several previous occasions.

Tony recognised Ben’s entrepreneurial work with the wine business and noted several members’ comments on the excellence of the range of wines produced.

President Andrew Moffat took Ben
through the induction process as the Principal Representative of the Corporate
Member. The President said “I now present to you the badge which all Rotarians
are proud to wear and the booklet which gives an introduction to Rotary, here
and world-wide. … Rotarians, I present to you Meopham Valley Vineyard Ltd
represented here by its Principal Representative in the Club, Ben Bassi. We all
welcome you”.

Ben thanked the President and
looked forward to participating in the social, networking and “Service above
Self” activities of the Club.
